CA&E: You were one of the first cats we listened to that was talking about the new world order - some of the intros were real tight.
Busta: Thanks. I was fortunate enough to be blessed and exposed by other great musicians that were into that. They talked about it in their music too but just in a much more....subliminal way.
CA&E: You brought it out, put it right in their face
Busta: I was intrigued by it. I'm sitting and....people talking about aliens that have been living here since 1951, naval intelligence briefing team members - like William Cooper and his Behold the Pale Horse book. That was intriguing to me. Even if it ain't real - the possibility of it -
CA&E: The government has it's hand in something we don't know about.
Busta: Everything can't be a lie. I know even on a school level we don't get to learn. It just seems like a programming, conditioning, but whatever the sources of information that we are exposed to are controlled by the powers that be. But we have to be careful about how we talk about all of that.
CA&E: Because we need to use those means for our own selves.
Busta: At the end of the day, it is what it is.
CA&E: You gotta' live with it.
Busta: You gotta' live with it, and you have to try to live around it. You have to figure out the ways to beat them at the game or tap into the core element of those sources of information so that we can expose it. That's what I'm about. I want to learn how to deal with it, get around it, understand it and be able to address the issues accordingly so that my kids can grow up with the truth or get as close to the truth as they possibly can. Anyway, "Genesis" is bringing about the new life of Busta Rhymes in every respect. That's pretty much it.
You've heard him in the clubs, you play him in your cars, you sing his songs in the shower... That's right, music fans, Mista Busta Bust is back and just as good as ever. Hip-hop fans will surely love this latest. A word of caution, however: the beats will blow out your speakers and the rhymes deliver enough power to short your system
This CD is a total club hit. Pretty much every song has that old school funky beat that is going to get people off their butts and onto their feet. And as always, Busta distinguishes himself with his one-of-a-kind vocal style, his inimitable rhymes. The force of his style combined with his words at high volume will overwhelm listeners - and makes this CD a must have.
"As I Come Back", the third track, produced by The Neptunes, has perhaps the dopest beat on "Genesis". The beginning of this song sounds like a total electronic intro, shredding your speakers as if it were kicking off a rave scene. But after a few seconds when the rest of the track comes in you will definitely know who you're listening to. A great way to blend a different music style into Busta's.
From the electronica flavor to a dose of soul - the sixth track takes it back. It starts out with a sample from Curtis Mayfield, showing everyone Busta's ability to incorporate any kind of music and giving it new life. Track #8 is a special dedication to all you Car Audio heads. Entitled "Truck Volume" this number is all about playing your music as loud as you can in your cars as you roll down the streets. Track #10, "Break Ya Neck" is reminiscent of early Busta Rhymes. Most of you have probably either heard this song on the radio or saw it being played on MTV, but just to play this track on a CD in your car is a whole different experience. With all the energy that Busta puts out, your car could run out of gas and still run for another 1,000 miles using your speakers as a power source. Last but not least, you have the hit, "What It Is", which (chances are you know it already) speaks for itself.
With "Genesis" Busta has kicked off a new beginning and he delivers the goods. Fans will not be disappointed. This album is available everywhere, so go out and get it today. -chux
